Abstract：
Fishing nets have a limited lifespan, and they are considered waste when worn or damaged beyond repair. If the end-of-life fishing nets (EOLFNs) are not adequately managed, they can be wasted in landfills or discarded into the sea inappropriately. Thus, encouraging the recycling of fishing nets is an effective way to reduce waste and promote a circular economy. This study examines the environmental impact of all processes of synthetic fishing nets used in various fishing operations (gillnet, trammel net and cast net) from a life-cycle perspective. The functional unit is a 1 ton fishing net. The disposal method represents two different scenarios, incineration and recycling. It has been observed that the disposal of EOLFNs by recycling rather than incineration offers significant environmental gains in all impact categories. The findings offer a promising solution to reduce the environmental impacts of EOLFNs by appropriately intervening in the effective recycling of fishing nets.
摘要：
渔网的寿命有限，它们在磨损或损坏时被认为是浪费，无法修复。如果报废渔网(EOLFN)没有得到充分管理，它们可能被浪费在垃圾填埋场或不适当地丢弃入海中。因此，鼓励渔网回收是减少浪费和促进循环经济的有效途径。本研究检查了各种捕捞作业中使用的合成渔网的所有过程对环境的影响（gillnet，trammel网和cast网)从生命周期的角度来看。功能单元是1吨渔网。处置方法代表了两种不同的场景，焚烧和回收。已经观察到，通过再循环而不是焚烧来处置EOLFN在所有影响类别中都提供了显着的环境收益。这些发现提供了一个有希望的解决方案，可以通过适当干预渔网的有效回收来减少EOLFN的环境影响。
